Line 1:
{{work}}{{Heartwarming}}
* A very brief moment in ''Twilight Princess'', during part one of the extensive final battle (battles?) at Hyrule Castle. After successfully working together to win part of the fight, Link stands holding his sword, and Midna drifts over to lean companionably against his shoulder. They grin at each other in a very [https://web.archive.org/web/20140122003151/http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/216152-twilight-princess-one-more-for-the-road/TPOneMore-LinkMidna-620x.jpg "I've got your back, buddy"] kind of way.
* Also, Colin's speech when he wakes in Link's arms after being rescued from King Bulblin is damn near heartbreaking with its youthful earnestness.
* One from the last battle. {{spoiler|After Link and Ganondorf's final showdown on Hyrule Field, the ancient enemy staggers to his feet to be mouthy one last time before the Triforce of Power abandons him and he finally dies (standing up no less), the camera shows the three wielders of the Triforce standing together for the last time. While Link gazes upon the defeated King of Evil, Zelda stands behind him; she bows her head and clasps her hands. What she is most likely doing is praying for the soul of her enemy.}}
Line 15:
** You get the Heart Container of the dungeon. And about 30 recovery hearts. Just from the love the two Yetis have for each other, after they reunite. How is that not a heartwarming, d'waaa moment?
** Those two are ridiculously adorable together anytime they make an appearance. Before the end of that dungeon, all Yeto does is worry about how ill Yeta is and fix a soup to make her better (which includes catching a fish which, according to the Zoras, is very difficult to get a hold of). After, you can find the two of them hanging around on the mountain peak, all happy and ready for some fun sledding down the slopes.
* What about the scene when Zelda receives the Light Arrows? She and Link stand alone in the ether, and she begs him to lend her the last of his considerable strength to save her kingdom. And ''bows'' to
* The scene in the end credits, which shows Shad, Ashei, and Auru performing an archaeological exploration of the ruins of the Temple of Time. Not only do you get your proof that they survived their portion of the fighting at Hyrule Castle, but
* How about {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPE2lwm2TqY Midna's final farewell?]}} It's a Tearjerker as well, but it's oh so heartwarming.
** I think this is a case of [[Your Mileage May Vary]], though.
Line 30:
* It's easy to overlook, given the implied Tearjerker behind the confirmation of the Hero's Shade as {{spoiler|the spirit of the Hero of Time}}, but notice how his tone shifts as he challenges Link with each new technique and watches his successor match him strike for strike. There's real pride in his words, watching the new Hero fulfull his utmost potential under his tutelage. At the end, when the Hero's Shade confesses to Link the secret of his heritage, you get the sense that Link has helped him as much in return by allowing him to absolve the regrets of his past life. Now he can finally rest in well-earned peace.
